Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ilya [14]2 years ago
8 0

2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid  is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.

Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.

Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

Q.  Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

  • A) 2,2-Dimethylpropanedioic acid 2-methylpropanoic acid
  • B) 2-Ethylpropanedioic acid Butanoic acid
  • C) 2-Methyl-3-oxo-pentanoic acid 3-Pentanone
  • D) 2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid 2-Methyl-3-butanone
  • E) 4-Methyl-3-oxo-heptanoic acid 3-Methyl-2-hexanone

Hence, option (D) is correct.

The pressure exerted by water at the bottom of a well is 0.50 atm. how many mmHg is this?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

0.5 atm is equal to 380mmHg.

Explanation:

For every 1 atm, it is equal to 760mmHg.

Therefore, 0.5 atm is 760/2, which is 380mmHg.

Calculate the mass of forsterite that contains a million oxygen atoms. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol if necessary, and r
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

2.33×10¯¹⁶ g of forsterite

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms. This equally means that 1 mole of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) = (24×2) + 28 + (16×4)

= 48 + 28 + 64

= 140 g

Finally, we shall determine the mass of forsterite that contains a million oxygen atoms.

140 g of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, Xg of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) will contain 1×10⁶ atoms of oxygen i.e

Xg of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) =

(140 × 1×10⁶) /6.02×10²³

= 2.33×10¯¹⁶ g

Therefore, 2.33×10¯¹⁶ g of forsterite contains a million oxygen atoms..

netineya [11]

Answer:

Listed below

Explanation:

Analytical chemistry: using quality and quantity observations to identify and measure physical and chemical properties of substances.EXAMPLE: medical diagnosis

Physical chemistry: Combination of physics and chemistry. EXAMPLE:nitric acid eating through wood.

Organic chemistry: Studying of compounds containing carbon in them. EXAMPLE: there are different products that make use of this type of chemistry for example perfumes,gasoline and many more.

Inorganic chemistry: Studies materials without carbon i them. EXAMPLE: Metals AND Gases.

Biochemistry: studies chemical processes occurring in living organisms. EXAMPLE: Human bodies and muscles

Theoretical chemistry: provides explanations to chemical and physical observation. EXAMPLE: Concepts of chemical reactions
